SOCIO-ECONOMIC FOUNDATIONS OF THE RUSSIAN POST-...

This monograph discloses the estate-based social structure of contemporary Russia by way of
outlining the principles of the USSR´s peculiar estate system  and explaining the new social
estates of post-Soviet Russia. Simon Kordonsky distinguishes and describes in particular the
currently existing Russian service and support estates. He introduces the notions of a
resource-based state and resource-based economy as the political and economic foundations for
Russian society's estate structure. His study demonstrates  moreover  how the method of
inventing and institutionalizing threats plays a dominant role in the mode of distribution of
scarce resources in such a social system. The book shows fundamental differences between
resource- as well as threat-based economies  on the one side  and traditional risk-based
economies  on the other  and discloses what this means for Russia's future.
